4. marking

   

cylinders having been granted a 15 year interval for periodic inspection in accordance with this paragraph shall additionally be marked clearly and legibly with "p15y". this mark shall be removed if the cylinder is no longer authorised for a 15 year interval.

note: this mark shall not apply to cylinders subject to the transitional provision in 1.6.2.9, 1.6.2.10 or the provisions of special packing provision v (1) of paragraph (10) of this packing instruction.

(13) an interval of 15 years for the periodic inspection of seamless steel and aluminium alloy cylinders and bundles of such cylinders may be granted in accordance with special packing provisions ua or va of paragraph (10), if the following provisions are applied:

1. general provisions

1.1 for the application of this paragraph, the competent authority shall not delegate its tasks and duties to xb bodies (inspection bodies of type b) or is bodies (in-house inspection services) (for the definitions of xb and is bodies, see 6.2.3.6.1).

1.2 the owner of the cylinders or bundles of cylinders shall apply to the competent authority for granting the 15 year interval, and shall demonstrate that the requirements of sub-paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 are met.

1.3 cylinders manufactured since 1 january 1999 shall have been manufactured in conformity with one of the following standards:

- en 1964-1 or en 1964-2; or

- en 1975; or

other cylinders manufactured before 1 january 2009 in conformity with adr in accordance with a technical code accepted by the national competent authority may be accepted for a 15 year interval for periodic inspection, if they are of equivalent safety to the provisions of adr as applicable at the time of application.

note: this provision is considered to be fulfilled if the cylinder has been reassessed according to the procedure for the reassessment of conformity described in annex iii of directive 2010/35/eu of 16 june 2010 or annex iv, part ii, of directive 1999/36/ec of 29 april 1999.

cylinders and bundles of cylinders marked with the united nations packaging symbol specified in

6.2.2.7.2 (a) shall not be granted a 15 year interval for periodic inspection.

1.4 bundles of cylinders shall be constructed such that contact between cylinders along the longitudinal axis of the cylinders does not result in external corrosion. the supports and restraining straps shall be such as to minimise the risk of corrosion to the cylinders. shock absorbent materials used in supports shall only be allowed if they have been treated to eliminate water absorption. examples of suitable materials are water resistant belting and rubber.

1.5 the owner shall submit documentary evidence to the competent authority demonstrating that the cylinders comply with the provisions of sub-paragraph 1.3. the competent authority shall verify that these conditions are met.

1.6 the competent authority shall check whether the provisions of sub-paragraphs 2 and 3 are fulfilled and correctly applied. if all provisions are fulfilled, it shall authorise the 15 year interval for periodic inspection for the cylinders or bundles of cylinders. in this authorisation a group of cylinders (see note below) covered shall be clearly identified. the authorisation shall be delivered to the owner; the competent authority shall keep a copy. the owner shall keep the documents for as long as the cylinders are authorised for a 15 year interval.

note: a group of cylinders is defined by the production dates of identical cylinders for a period, during which the applicable provisions of adr and of the technical code accepted by the competent authority have not changed in their technical content. example: cylinders of identical design and volume having been manufactured according to the provisions of adr applicable between 1 january 1985 and 31 december 1988 in combination with a technical code accepted by the competent authority applicable for the same period form one group in terms of the provisions of this paragraph.

1.7 the owner shall ensure compliance with the provisions of adr and the authorisation given as appropriate and shall demonstrate this to the competent authority on request but at least every three years or when significant changes to the procedures are introduced.

2. operational provisions

2.1 cylinders or bundles of cylinders having been granted a 15 year interval for periodic inspection shall only be filled in filling centres applying a documented and certified quality system to ensure that all the provisions of paragraph (7) of this packing instruction and the requirements and responsibilities of en 1919:2000, en 1920:2000 or en 13365:2002 as applicable are fulfilled and correctly applied. the quality system, according to the iso 9000 (series) or equivalent, shall be certified by an accredited independent body recognized by the competent authority. this includes procedures for pre- and post- fill inspections and the filling process for cylinders, bundles of cylinders and valves.

    1. aluminium alloy cylinders and bundles of such cylinders without rpvs having been granted a 15 year interval for periodic inspection shall be checked prior to every fill in accordance with a documented procedure which shall at least include the following:

      • open the cylinder valve or the main valve of the bundle of cylinders to check for residual pressure;

      • if gas is emitted, the cylinder or bundle of cylinders may be filled;

      • if no gas is emitted, the internal condition of the cylinder or bundle of cylinders shall be checked for contamination;

      • if no contamination is detected, the cylinder or bundle of cylinders may be filled. if contamination is detected corrective action is to be carried out.

    1. seamless steel cylinders fitted with rpvs and bundles of seamless steel cylinders equipped with main valve(s) with a residual pressure device having been granted a 15 year interval for periodic inspection shall be checked prior to every fill in accordance with a documented procedure which shall at least include the following:

      • open the cylinder valve or bundle of cylinders main valve to check for residual pressure;

      • if gas is emitted, the cylinder or bundle of cylinders may be filled;

this instruction applies to un nos. 3090, 3091, 3480 and 3481 production runs consisting of not more than 100 cells and batteries and to pre-production prototypes of cells and batteries when these prototypes are carried for testing.

the following packagings are authorized provided that the general provisions of 4.1.1 and 4.1.3 are met:

  1. for cells and batteries, including when packed with equipment: drums (1a2, 1b2, 1n2, 1h2, 1d, 1g);

    1. batteries and cells, including equipment, of different sizes, shapes or masses shall be packaged in an outer packaging of a tested design type listed above provided the total gross mass of the package does not exceed the gross mass for which the design type has been tested;

    2. each cell or battery shall be individually packed in an inner packaging and placed inside an outer packaging;

    3. each inner packaging shall be completely surrounded by sufficient non-combustible and non-conductive thermal insulation material to protect against a dangerous evolution of heat;

    4. appropriate measures shall be taken to minimize the effects of vibration and shocks and prevent movement of the cells or batteries within the package that may lead to damage and a dangerous condition during carriage. cushioning material that is non-combustible and non-conductive may be used to meet this requirement;

    5. non-combustibility shall be assessed according to a standard recognized in the country where the packaging is designed or manufactured;

    6. a cell or battery with a net mass of more than 30 kg shall be limited to one cell or battery per outer packaging.

boxes (4a, 4b, 4n, 4c1, 4c2, 4d, 4f, 4g, 4h1, 4h2);

jerricans (3a2, 3b2, 3h2).

 

packagings shall conform to the packing group ii performance level and shall meet the following requirements:

 

  1. for cells and batteries contained in equipment:

    1. equipment of different sizes, shapes or masses shall be packaged in an outer packaging of a tested design type listed above provided the total gross mass of the package does not exceed the gross mass for which the design type has been tested;

    2. the equipment shall be constructed or packaged in such a manner as to prevent accidental operation during carriage;

    3. appropriate measures shall be taken to minimize the effects of vibration and shocks and prevent movement of the equipment within the package that may lead to damage and a dangerous condition during carriage. when cushioning material is used to meet this requirement it shall be non-combustible and non-conductive; and

    4. non-combustibility shall be assessed according to a standard recognized in the country where the packaging is designed or manufactured.
